I move:

That the amendments be agreed to.

These amendments address issues raised during the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs inquiry into the bill on the issue of sexting. The amendments insert new provisions requiring the consent of the Attorney-General before proceedings can be commenced against a person under 18 for an overseas or internet child pornography offence. I commend the amendments to the House.
